Features

DCS Alphanumeric Display for Terminals

Within a distributed communication system, call information is displayed on users’ alphanumeric displays. This feature allows calling-name display, called-name display, and miscellaneous identifiers to be transferred from a tele- phone on one node to a telephone on another node. This gives the user consid- erable call handling capabilities when calls are made to and from other distributed communication system nodes.

DCS Attendant Control of Trunk Group Access

Allows an attendant at any node in the distributed communication system to take control of any outgoing trunk group at an adjacent node. This is helpful when an attendant wants to prevent telephone users from calling out on a specific trunk group for any number of reasons, such as reserving a trunk group for incoming calls or for a very important outgoing call.

DCS Attendant Display

Provides attendants with some transparency when displaying call-related infor- mation for calls made to or from both local and remote distributed communica- tion system nodes.

DCS Automatic Callback

Allows a user at one node to make an automatic callback call to a user at another node in the DCS.

DCS Automatic Circuit Assurance

Allows a user or attendant at one node to activate or deactivate Automatic Circuit Assurance referral calls for the entire DCS network. This transparency allows the referral calls to originate at a node other than the node that detects the problem.

DCS Busy Verification of Terminals and Trunks

Allows attendants and multi-appearance telephone users to make test calls to telephones and trunk groups that are located at other nodes within the distrib- uted communication system.

DCS Call Coverage

Provides the DCS messaging required for calls to be covered on remote systems when there is a DCS signaling link (BX.25 or ISDN-PRI) for the trunk groups. Calls to an extension on one system are covered by extensions on remote systems that are administered as coverage points.
